★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 299 reviews · 4 hours · from $150Our pick

Meet and feed reindeer, then follow an English-speaking guide on a beginner-friendly 2.5 to 3.5 km snowshoe walk with Tromsø views. Finish with bidos, hot drinks, and cookies in a traditional Sami hut. Guides such as Rafa, Mary, Laurence, and Amanda are praised for friendly help.

“We had so much fun! The guides were super polite, friendly and helpful. The reindeers were adorable. We had some time to feed them and then the snowshoeing part began. The views during our hike were breathtaking. We had enough time for pictures and a hot chocolate with cookies. Back at the camp we had lunch (vegan options were available) and some time to warm up. The group (pretty small for the snowshoeing) was also really nice. I would love to book again!”
